Kasu owned and operated Right Quick Tax Services in Sunrise. He and co-conspirators Teresa Francis-Kasu, 36, of Coconut Creek, and Tendai Busuman, 30, of Pompano Beach, allegedly prepared tax returns that contained false and inflated claims for deductions, according to the indictment.

They also inflated income tax withholding credits and telephone excise tax refund credits, in order to increase the tax refunds due to their clients while boosting their own fees, the indictment alleged.

Francis-Kasu and Busuman were charged on March 5th with conspiracy to submit false claims to the Internal Revenue Service. If convicted, Kasu faces up to ten years in prison, prosecutors said.
